TDM1 - what to expect
Hi,
Am post neoadjjuvant therapy, mastectomy and ALND for 2 separate tumours, one HER2+ and the other HER2-, both estrogen and progesterone positive. 1 lymph node positive.
I had near complete response to treatment (<1%) and a tiny mass still in the lymph node.
Recommendation is to switch from Herceptin to TDM1. I see the oncologist on Monday for further information and to start this new drug.
Any experience with side effects and what to expect would be appreciated. Although I know they do this for any residual disease, there was so little that you do start to question the need. So would appreciate both good and bad view just to get myself prepared.
On another note, my breast surgeon discussed CTK4/6 with an AI. This was not even on my radar. I will find out more on Monday but very curious and like to have knowledge to make the best choices.
Love to hear from anyone who has experience in these treatments.
Best wishes to you all.
